Well, I guess you French folks forgot that it was the US and England that
saved your bacon during WWI and WWII ...
When you ran away and crying, it was US who came to help. Now don't get
me
wrong, I like the French, but you guys seem to forget some of the best
parts
of history. Like when the US tried to invade Canada ... The only war the
US
lost .. well other then Viet Nam, War on Drugs, War on Terrorism, the War
in
Iraq.
Mind you, I love my country, it's the gooberment I don't trust. I think
that
instead of sending our children to fight wars, we send the President,
Kings,
Queens, etc to fight each other.
Anywho, who really cares who did what for who when they did it? I mean
come
on this is for help and what not in programming in Delphi, isn't it?
Truth is the enemy of Power, and Power the enemy of Truth ...
